My cleaning lady couldn't come yesterday, so came today instead. It wasn't a problem, but since I like to be gone at least part of the time she's here, I set out for a morning of shopping and walking. First, I walked the mall, then headed to Costco for some dog biscuits (yeah, right). The good news is I only spent $73 and the better news is that I had lunch at all the sampling stations. It was a slow, rainy day and the traffic was horrendous, which only proved that I don't need to go out on Saturdays.

I came back home and worked on taxes again, but I really think I'm done this time. I even wrote a letter of apology to the IRS because I gave them false information by accident regarding Mom's trust, which led to a stern letter from them stating that I owed them returns for the last seven years. Without going into great detail, the trust changed names upon her death, which means I really don't have to do the returns. We'll see how this goes, but I was very professional as well as apologetic. Think they'll forgive me?
